The Lost Keys of Masonry: The Legend of Hiram Abiff by: Manly Hall (2nd Edition)

In this book, Hall explores the spiritual and esoteric dimensions of Freemasonry. It presents the organization not merely as a fraternal group but as a significant spiritual journey. The book delves into the symbolic and allegorical aspects of Masonic rituals, emphasizing the transformative process of a Mason from an Entered Apprentice to a Master Mason. Hall discusses the philosophical and moral underpinnings of Freemasonry, focusing on personal development, ethical living, and the pursuit of wisdom. He suggests that Freemasonry is connected to a much older mystical tradition aimed at understanding life's deeper mysteries. According to Hall, the true Masonic journey is one of enlightenment and self-discovery, where Masons are seen as builders of their spiritual temples. The book targets readers interested in the esoteric aspects of Freemasonry and those who view its rituals and symbols as a pathway to personal and spiritual growth.Show more
